====== Honey-Ginger Grilled Salmon ======

Serves four to six, depending on serving sizes; I tend to target 80-100 g. portions for flesh. This is also good cold as a leftover.

  - In a large, slef-closing plastic bag, combine marinade ingredients, mixing well:
    * 1 tsp. (5 g.) ground ginger
    * 1 tsp. (5 g.) garlic powder (or a crushed clove of garlic)
    * 1/3 cup (80 ml) soy sauce
    * 1/3 cup (80 ml) orange juice
    * 1/4 cup (60 ml) honey
    * 1 scallion, chopped
  - Place rinsed __600-700 g. salmon filet__ in marinade, seal, and refrigerate, turning occasionally. Original recipe called for only 15-30 minutes of marination, but I sometimes prepared before going to work in the morning and cooked in the evening (10 hours marination) and it was just fine.
  - Remove filet from marinade, reserve marinade for basting. Broil on greased rack, about 4 inches (10cm) from flame or heating element, __10-15 minutes per inch (2.5 cm) of thickness__, without turning. ((Our filets often had skin still on, so broiling was skin-side away from the flame, of course.))

As with many salmon dishes, microwave cooking is also an option, keeping the cooked flesh moist but not giving it the thin sweet crust broiling the honey marinade does. If pressed for time((or wishing to avoid cleaning the broiler and rack, or both)) and willing to give up the crustiness, microwave in an appropriate vessel, such as a 6" x 8" (or 8" x 8") heat-resistant glass pan or baking dish tightly covered with plastic cooking wrap. Follow the instructions for your oven; it takes __about six minutes on high__ in mine.

In any case, discard the remaining marinade: it has raw fish bacteria in it now!
